Sometime back my son Shashwat captured few moments of Mumbai in silence in his camera...which is really different from the daily routine and busy life of so called never sleeping city of Mumbai where everyone runs for their bread and leisure is a word mostly found in dictionary...
It reminds me the poem by the legendary poet William Henry-
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Hope my friends and family take few moments to spend in leisure and see the beauty of nature stored for our souls....
Oh God bless you Saswt, with my blessings. I shall show these photographs to Sayam...How simple words can be used so meaningfully, probably there is not a single word that needs dictionary. This shows our vocabulary is not constraint our expressive passion I mean the love to open up to spare a moment and spare a thought is the main tool in writing. Thanks.
